Lincolnshire Voice

Treason - that was the word on the agenda at the latest North Kesteven Group meeting said Cllr Mike Clayton, the local group Organiser. After opening the meeting and the usual introductions to around 30 guests, Mike first spoke about the run up to the general election. There were a series of newspaper articles shown to the audience showing the biased nature of the media and how they portrayed the party and the brave candidates who stood up. After initial reporting, he said things improved and at times treated us fairly so the publicity was quite good locally with various newspapers wanting to speak to us about our policies. Unfortunately there were also the usual letters from the Unions, church representatives and the Lincoln (former) MP Gilian Merron (lab) who continually attacked us, prompting a reply from Mike regarding her expenses claiming for her second home, whilst some pensioners were denied their pension, ignored and forgotten about (thats because the old folk can remember the way it was, Ed).

Mike spoke about being the only candidate out of 6 who wasn't asked to take part in a Hustings debate at a church in Sleaford, which he only discovered by seeing the article on the Sleaford Standard website on the evening prior to polling day. There was also another one he later heard about at Branston "Community College" that he wasnt invited to. Not to be outdone it was mentioned that Rev West was denied the chance to speak in Lincoln at one Hustings debate and Julia Green was denied a platform in Louth & Horncastle constituency.

Rev West told the audience (to much laughter!) that he was invited to a Church husting and then the invite was withdrawn on the grounds "...not that they were against free speech but just that they disagreed with what I said..." Commenting after the meeting Rev said "Well there we are: what hope for the education system and its A* levels."

There was some positive news that Malcolm Porter did get invited to speak in Market Rasen for the Gainsborough Constituency and performed well, having an anti-eu and Afghanistan stance. It was all very grown up and no problems at all - how a democracy is supposed to work!

Geoff Dickens then spoke at length about the Party nationally and mentioned that there were some financial issues, which will hopefully be resolved and he is now one of three people on the new scrutiny committee. He invited questions from the audience, which were answered honestly. After several complaints about the Central Office appeal letters, there was a show of hands and 95% of the audience agreed they wanted no more. Both Geoff and Mike said that anyone not wanting them should write a letter to Central Office and/or press the unsubscribe button to their emails. This will save the party funds and will stop people getting annoyed.

After a very brief break, we had our guest speaker for the night, Mr Albert Burgess, a retired policeman who gave us an English history lesson going from Alfred the Great up to the present era. He explained the lies being spread about the Law and showed us that Treason and Sedition had been committed to subvert our English Constitution in 1972 under the Heath regime. He showed beyond doubt that the EU was an illegal entity and should be struck out accordingly. You can see a video of him above which was recorded at another meeting.

All in all a somewhat rushed but very interesting meeting.

The final decision has been made in Lincoln to refuse permission to build a mosque on the ground of the former Grade 2 Listed Church (which mysteriously burnt down) in Boultham, Lincoln. Members of the British National Party had fought against this proposal for the last few years, not as an attack on muslims, but as a way of preserving Britains Christian Culture, Identity and Heritage. As we've always stated, blame should be directed at the Politicians.

The residents formed a local group and opposed the mosque on the grounds of parking, which was the main issue. They put considerable pressure on the local Labour councillors to act for the residents for a change and not approve of the mosque which they did during the first planning application (citing "no problems whatsoever").

People Power is a strong tool, if only the people knew how to use it. Perhaps they should use it against their own corrupt government - before it is totally swallowed up by the growing EU dictatorship.

It is with deep sadness that the British National Party takes leave of one of its Lincolnshire stalwarts, Christopher John Robinson, 68.

Mr Robinson, of South Witham, was a constructive and selfless contributor to the British National Party.

He served on the South Witham Parish Council, stood as an Independent for district. In 2009 he stood for the British National Party in the County Council elections, beating Labour first time out. In 2010, despite ill health he again stood for the British National Party as a parliamentary candidate in the constituency of Grantham & Stamford.

He campaigned throughout his life without prejudice against inept governance, repressive European laws and mismanaged immigration.

His articulate election address won almost 2,500 votes, more than one quarter as many as the Labour candidate and more than the UKIP candidate.

Mr Robinson was born at Ingoldsby and educated at the King’s School in Grantham, Lincolnshire.

At 16 he joined the Merchant Navy as an apprentice deck officer. Having achieved the rank of Second Officer he left the sea, studied accountancy and rose to Finance Director of a major shipping company in London.

He then moved to South Witham, near a former family farm, where he established a new company to supply energy conservation systems. At the same time he built new offices, employed local people and landscaped his garden to his own design.

During the same period he wrote a history of the Vikings and taught the history as a circuit lecturer.

Mr Robinson battled with oesophageal and secondary cancers for nearly six years without complaint to the end.

He leaves a wife, a son, daughter, stepson, and three grandchildren, as well as his mother and four siblings.

Footnote:

When I spoke to Chris on many occasions, he always wanted the party to do well in his local area of South Kesteven and donated generously to help the cause. He said to me many times he would stand as a candidate for Grantham & Stamford, but when his cancer reappeared and knowing it was terminal he didnt think he would be alive for the general election. The success in the Euro elections and his own fight against the County Council leader in 2009 gave him much joy and he was able to see out one of his last wishes, which was to stand for the Party in the general election, which he did admirably. A sad loss.

Wonder if the Daily Express were accused of being racist for printing that article?

East Lindsey BNP candidate, Jez Boothman

On Thursday 17th June, Lincolnshire British National Party were contesting a by-election in Louth for the North Holme ward of East Lindsey District Council. The result is below:

Philip Sturman, Labour 142
Fran Treanor, Conservative 111
Jez Boothman, British National Party 102 (19.8%)
Mary Finch, Liberal Democrat 88
Susan Locking, Independent 72
Turnout 28%

With the Liberal Democrats smearing (load of rubbish) the party in one of their leaflets and the other parties conducting good campaigns it was always going to be difficult to win, but we came a very solid third, just 9 behind the Conservatives and 40 behind Labour. It was pleasing to beat the Lib Dem candidate, especially as it was a Lib Dem seat. Perhaps the 177 postal votes swayed this election as so often happens.

Thanks to all those who helped in this hard fought campaign.

WELL DONE JEZ + TEAM

Just some of the local news that shows what a wonderful society we now live in:

Crime is going down
Forty year old Mr Whitelaw was fatally stabbed on 3rd May at the Mezz bar in Ruston Way, Lincoln. Twenty six year old arrested and charged with murder;
£80,000 jewellery Robbery in Lincoln, May 15th;
Man attacked with hammer in Lincoln, May 17th.

More British Pub Destruction
The Lark Pub, Lincoln, demolished;
The 19th Century Turks Head being made into apartments;
These are just a few to name. Police are now targetting drinking establishments regarding petty licence infringements (that wouldn't be political would it? Ed) in Lincoln like Sippers, next to former world famous Rustons (now Siemens), Rileys snooker club in Silver Street and Essence and Quayside bars.

More British Destruction
Army Barracks, Newport, Lincoln demolished and now built on with apartments, as has happened with the former Lincoln Sobraon barracks, which were originally built in the 1870's for the North Lincolnshire Regiment.

More Crackdown
Illegal parking crackdown to be imposed by Government if councils fail to agree deal.

More Enrichment
A Chinese restaurant in Boston was fined £20,000 after it was found employing six illegal workers (yep, they weren't British workers!).

More Injustice
103 sex offenders given cautions
More here.
Sex offenders, including rapists and child molesters are given cautions, but British Pubs are losing their licences and ordinary people are being fined for speeding or parking in the wrong place.

That goes for the Lib Dems and Conservatives too!

3 Parties = 1 State = 1 EU Police State

The results are in and it has shown how difficult a general election is with votes continuing to go to the LibLabCon 3 party state, which has now resulted in a hung parliament.
